Kuhn, Bowie Kent

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.17 sec.

Kuhn, Bowie Kent (1926–2007)

US lawyer and baseball commissioner. Born in Takoma Park, Maryland, he earned his law degree at the University of Virginia in 1950 and went on to the firm of Wilkie, Farr and Gallagher (1950–69) where he counselled several baseball clients. After representing the major league baseball club owners in negotiations in 1968, he was chosen to be commissioner of baseball (1968–84). During his term, he was well known for his tough stand against players involved with drugs, gambling, and corruption, and he was the recipient of both praise and blame. He was forced out in 1984 and told his story in Hardball: The Education of a Baseball Commissioner (1987).
